The fall colors are insane right now, the weather is perfect, the smell of the air is almost edible.
But still I ask myself.....why do I do these things?
Running 18.something miles in 24 hours with no sleep and crappy food is hard.
But for some reason still fun. (maybe because it's with these guys and those guys)
And it is such a good reminder of how awesome our bodies are.
How will we know what they can do if we don't challenge them?
Challenge them.
Please.
You will be so glad you did.

Do you know what I bought at the store today?
White bagels. Coke. Cup-O-Soup.
I was so embarrassed.
I felt like I should maybe explain it to the cashier that I was not going home to feed these things to my children,
but using them as quick burning fuel for a race this weekend.
And I feel like I need to explain it here, just in case you saw me and wondered why I was buying Cup-O-Soup.
Did you know they are only 29¢ !!!
Stock up!
Just kidding.

Today I need to do laundry. Pack. Take a nap. Watch Modern Family. Go buy lots of candy from the bulk section.

Seriously. Cup-O-Soup was what I ate during my breaks in swim meets all through HS. No the most nutritious, but as far as snack bar food goes it hit the spot.

Good luck with your race this weekend! You'll do awesome and you'll love it. You always do. Have fun shopping the bulk section. The last time I was there getting those chocolate covered sunflower seeds (SO good) and this other mom walked by with her kids and they were begging for candy and she said really loudly "No way! Candy will make you stupid!" I wanted to bust out laughing, but at the same time was kind of like "gee, thanks." :)

oh Sheena! this post has me laughing from the get-go. I'm a fellow hand warper (my thumb seems to dislocate at the worst times) and avid follower of yours. I adore the way you integrate your stories...love love love the little red house!
